examination made of the body, de-
scribing the wound and the position of
DR.. Haddock when they arrived.
Rev. c.. g. Turner, who
accompanied DR.. Haddock on his ride
to the Greenville House on that night,
was examined at length, giving the
proceedings in court that day, the rea-
sons for the trip, and then told Of the
journey in particular: how he wanted
to take the horses and carriages back
to the barn, and how DR.. Haddock
insisted on taking him to his
boarding place in the western part of
the city and returning the rig himself
Wesley Hatchner and Thomas Jones
the stablemen, told i'll detail about the
return of DIR. Haddock and the occur
renee after he left the barn. The story
of the witnesses was substantially the
same as has appeared in print
heretofore, having been elected before
the coroner's jury. at noon an adj
iournment was taken till O'Clock.
This afternoon the examination of
Jarvis, the colored livery-stable
boy, was continued. Shortly after
Haddock. left the stable, he
saw Haddock stagger and fall, then
get up and fall again; saw number of
men running in different directions
and scattering from the scene
of the murder. Taking a Ian
tern the witness went over
and found Jack Ryan holding
the wounded man in sitting position.
Blood was running from the mouth and
wounds. He could not speak and soon
died. On cross examination Jarvis
said Haddock inquired concerning the
mob across the street, and started away
saying he could take care of himself.
John McGregor, who worked in the
stables, corroborated Jarvis testimony
substantially. DR.. Savage was called,
and described the nature of the wound
and the course of the bullet. He as
sisted in the action and was
present on othe night of
the murder before the removal of the
body. He described Haddock as a
powerful, muscular man weighing
about $50 pounds, and standing five
foot seven inches high. Charles Eber-
hart was senior. He keeps the Column
bia House, opposite the scene of the
tragedy, corner of Fourth and
Water Streets. He was sitting in the
front room with three others playing
cards. A man came in and inquired if
the horse and buggy had returned to
the stables adjoining. Thinks the
man was Sylvester Granda. Some time
after he heard shot; went to the
door and saw some people across the
street; went over with a lantern and
found the man bleeding and dying.
Jack Ryan was holding him up and
trying to wash off the blood. Jack
Ryan was sworn. Reside on Water
Street, near the scene of the murder;was
then serving as Superintendent of
markets; before the shooting was
standing in the entry way of a saloon
on Fourth Street, near the corner of
| Water, saw ten or dozen men,
| singly and in groups, going to-
ward the corner; among them
recognized II. B. Leavitt and spoke to
him; they were going at fast walk;
said, "hello jack and witness an
swered, was still standing in the door
way when I heard the shot and
started for the place; saw parties run
ming in various directions from the
scene; met several on the run, but did
not know them; found Mr.. Haddock in
a ditch near the corner; raised him up
and called for help; spoke to him; asked
| if he was hurt, but no reply was made;
he appeared to be choking to death;
shortly after he appeared to be dead
and was laid down and covered. Court
then adjourned. A. T. Leavitt will
probably testify tomorrow. The
spacious court room is crowded,
many ladies being among the most in
